Foreign investors setting up a company in Singapore

Seamless Market Entry, Managed Remotely

Expanding internationally shouldn't mean drowning in foreign paperwork. We provide a complete corporate infrastructure for overseas investors, handling everything from ACRA registration to securing local nominee directors and arranging remote banking interviews.

100% Remote Setup

No flights, no physical paperwork. Through our secure portal, we conduct digital KYC verifications and facilitate electronic signatures. Your company can be fully registered while you sit in your home country.

Remote Bank Account Opening

The hardest part of foreign incorporation is banking. We leverage our deep relationships with local and digital banks (like Aspire and OCBC) to arrange remote video interviews so you can open a corporate account without visiting a branch.

Local Compliance Guaranteed

Singapore law strictly requires a local resident director and a registered CBD address. We seamlessly provide reliable Nominee Directors and prestigious office addresses to ensure your business is legally unshakeable.

Choose the Ideal Setup for Your Expansion

Singapore legally permits 100% foreign ownership across multiple corporate entity types. Whether you are a solo entrepreneur relocating to Asia or a multinational corporation establishing a regional headquarters, our consultants will help you select the most tax-efficient structure for your strategic goals.

1. Singapore Subsidiary Company

The most popular choice for global companies. A subsidiary is a separate legal entity from your foreign HQ, meaning the parent company's liability is limited to its share capital. Enjoy Singapore's generous corporate tax exemptions.

2. Branch Office

An extension of your parent company rather than a separate entity. Ideal for large corporations looking to secure revenue directly for their HQ. (Note: Branch offices do not qualify for local tax exemptions).

3. Independent Private Limited

Ideal for solo foreign entrepreneurs and digital nomads. You hold shares as an individual. If you plan to relocate to Singapore, this structure allows us to apply for your Employment Pass (EP).

The Remote Incorporation Process

Fast, secure, and compliant. Here is how we get your business operational.

Step 1

Discovery & KYC

Submit your proposed company names and foreign identification documents via our secure portal. We run immediate name checks with ACRA.

Step 2

What is a Nominee Director?

Under the Singapore Companies Act, every company must have at least one director who is ordinarily resident in Singapore. If you live overseas, we provide a Nominee Director to satisfy this legal requirement.

Your company remains yours. Our Nominee Director acts strictly in a non-executive capacity. They will not interfere in your business operations, and they have no access to your corporate bank accounts. We provide a legal Indemnity Agreement ensuring you maintain 100% operational and financial control.

Required Documents

To comply with international Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations, we require the following from all foreign directors and ultimate beneficial owners (UBOs):

  • Notarized copy of Passport
  • Proof of overseas residential address (e.g., utility bill or bank statement within the last 3 months)
  • Brief background of your professional experience (CV/Resume)
  • If opening a Subsidiary: The Certificate of Incorporation and Memorandum of the foreign parent company.

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to the most common questions asked by international founders.

Do I need to visit Singapore to open my corporate bank account?

Not necessarily. While traditional banks previously required in-person meetings, many local banks (like OCBC) and digital business accounts (like Aspire) now allow us to facilitate a 100% remote account opening via video conferencing and digital KYC checks.

Can a foreigner own 100% of the shares in a Singapore company?

Yes. Singapore welcomes foreign investment. A foreign individual or a foreign corporate entity can own 100% of the shares of a Singapore Private Limited company. There is no requirement for local Singaporean shareholders.

How long does it take to register a company as a foreigner?

Once we receive your signed documents and complete our internal KYC (Know Your Customer) compliance checks, we submit the application to ACRA. For foreigners, ACRA typically processes the registration within 1 to 3 business days.

Can I move to Singapore to run my new company?

Yes. If you wish to relocate, you will need an Employment Pass (EP) or an EntrePass. Once your company is incorporated (using a temporary Nominee Director), the company can apply for an EP on your behalf. Once the EP is approved and you relocate, you can take over as the local resident director and terminate the Nominee Director service.
